Critics have been mercilessly mocking Jennifer Lopez for her simple choice of bodega meal for nearly two years, and now the old clip is making the rounds again.
A video resurfaced of the 54-year-old star answering Vogue's 73 Questions inquiry about her go-to order at her local bodgea. "Ham and cheese on a roll with an orange drink -- if you know, you know -- and a small bag of chips," the "Jenny From the Block" singer replied in 2022.
Now, while she's in the news for lackluster response to her latest album and corresponding musical film, social media is pulling out this clip to poke fun once again.
Jennifer Lopez's Childhood Bodega Order
One of the clips, from TikTok user @whoisadiv, said "Bronx and the hood are tired," while complaining that the Lopez often refers to her roots in the New York City borough even though she is now worth millions.
Other accounts attempted to figure out which orange beverage she meant. User @angthescallion went through a handful of popular orange drinks that might have been contenders.
Meanwhile, another fan documented their attempt to decipher JLo's food preferences, and also encountered a challenge with the beverage selection.
Searching through the coolers, user @giannachristiine pondered, "JLo said 'If ya know, ya know' but I don't know! There's a million orange drinks. We have Crush, we have Sunkist."

Not everyone seems so concerned about what lunch items Lopez ordered in the '80s and '90s though. Writer Kirsten Fleming at The New York Post pointed out that bodegas in those days were much less well-stocked than today, and that basic neighborhood bodegas were essentially small food and convenience stores. In fact, "there weren't always labels on the drinks, so you had no idea if they were made in somebody's home kitchen or a proper factory," she wrote.
Jennifer Lopez's Canceled Shows Due To 'Low Ticket Sales'?
Recently, there have also been rumors on various social media platforms that lackluster ticket sales are the reason for a number of concert cancellations.
The "All I Have" singer released tickets for her upcoming tour only two weeks ago. She was slated to travel across the United States for her THIS IS ME NOW... Tour. Reports indicate that the canceled performances were scheduled to occur in several cities during late August, including Nashville, Raleigh, Atlanta, Tampa, and New Orleans.
Upon visiting Ticketmaster to check the date and possibly purchase tickets, the message now displayed reads, "Unfortunately, the Event Organizer has had to cancel your event."
The cancellation of any shows raises questions, and Lopez has not addressed the situation publicly. However, it should be noted that all canceled dates are between August 22-30, meaning the singer may have unannounced plans during that week.
According to a report by Entertainment Weekly, the abrupt cancellations appear to stem from a logistical problem on the side of the tour promoter.
Despite the ongoing speculation surrounding the cancellation of the "Jenny From The Block" singer's upcoming summer concerts, fans, critics, and social media users continue to search for more profound reasons behind the decision.
Gossip mainstay Perez Hilton shared a screenshot on X, formerly Twitter, suggesting "low ticket sales" as a potential cause for JLo's tour postponements.
